It's St. Patrick's Day, which means thousands of people will celebrate the patron saint of Ireland.
How does one celebrate the man who brought Catholicism to the Emerald Isle? A 24-hour drinking fest, wearing plastic beads, clover-shaped sunglasses, and donning scantily clad green attire or graphic t-shirts that falsely advertise your faux Irish roots.
For some, St. Patrick's Day is like Christmas. There is nothing wrong with celebrating your heritage, but most people would prefer it didn't involve barfing in the street.
Here are 17 other things that make St. Patrick's Day the worst.
